Selection considerations included: (1) interest in subject area: (2) readability; (3) format; and (4) organization. The bibliography includes titles and content summaries for materials in the following areas: (1) informational materials; (2) leisure reading; (3) instructional materials; (4) professional materials for teachers and librarians; and (5) resources for keeping up-to-date.
